in its multiplicity Of branches the Oldest
aud most densely peopled portions OF
Massach chusetts. 1t is hardly matter
of surprise that eastern newspapers In
their dense ignorance of the facts
in the case and further blinded
by an obstinate prejudice, should decry
our progress as based on no solid Sub
stratum Of material resources. But the
estimate of such men as manage the two
railroad corporations above named, as
expressed by their outlay of money on
new lines should be quite sufficient to cor
re ct any misapprehension arising on the
head of the future prospects of the most
matchlessly endowed section of country
in the world.
Those who question the future devei-
opment of Los Angeles point to the fact
that we are sixteen miles inland from
the sea, or assert that there is no aoJa'
cent harbor for ships on our coast. The
fact that the city is somewhat removed
from the sea cuts no figure. Portland,
Oregon, is one hundred and twenty-five
miles from the mouth of the Columbia,
and all the expenses of getting ship to
her docks, and out over the bar again Will
amount to more per ton than it does to
haul goods to this city from San Pedro
The present charges for this service
with us will be made less as the busl'
ness undergoes that natural increment
incident to the development OF the
country. At this moment the Whining
ton Transportation Company is engaged
| in the construction of an immense wharf
over a mile in length from Mormon
island to the shore, by which the pres
ent system of lighterage, with its attend
ant costs will be done away with. San
Pedro and Wilmington can and will be
made harbor perfectly fitted to the
tran saction of a very large amount OF
shi piping business. Doubling Thomases,
moreover, may want to see the thing
done, and may insist on steering a ship
in themselves before their blind skepti-
cism will become enlightened faith, but
in spite of all cavils it certainly seems
TO gone conclusion that Port Ballona
will be made very commodious, and
entirely safe, harbor for the accomme-
dation of more shipping than the next
three generations will need to do even
tine large business centering at this point.
The roadbed is graded from the depot OF
the foot of First street to the new port.
The Atchison people will iron it at once,
and will operate trains on it before
the first of next August. There are
millions of feet of timber now in the
lake, and the entrance to the port ID
nearly constructed. A dredger, the
most gigantic in size and power ever con
structed, is now finished in San Fran
cisco, at cost of $40, to deepen the
water of the lake and of the channel
leadi ng 10 il. Business men of expert
ence are putting capital into this enter
prise in unstinted measure, and before
many weeks pass ship and car will come
together at Port Ballona. So say the
managers, and thus far all their promises
have been kept.

of all this active enterprise is plain tC
tn ose who study the facts. Ours is
day of rapid progress and of grea'
growth in material things. Mr.. Gladstone
is the authority for the statement thai
the development of England since the
beginning of this century is far greater
than in all its previous eras from the in
vasion Of the isle by Caesar and his Roman
cohorts. The progress of the British
is lie are by comparison only bagatelle
beside that of the American Union in
the period named. AT the period of the
revolution, the colonies numbered
but three millions of souls. Now
the annual increase of our population is
round million, go that each three
years sees an increment to our census
equal to the entire population of the
original thirteen states. Nor is
the progress merely one of geometric
progression of numbers. There is
in the wealth of our nation O
cumulative increase of consumption,
which makes the needs of an individual
of to-day equal to that of q whole
family century ago. All this is seen,
and it is also apparent that the traffic Of
America with far Cathay and the islands
of the sea is getting to be a most i'm
portant matter. Solid trains of teas and
silks pass through this city en- route to
the east from China via San Francisco
Port Moody in the far north, with the
aid of the Canadian Pacific, is reaching
forth to secure share of this trade from
the city at the Golden Gate. Portland,
Oregon, and Tacoma, on Puget Sound,
want some of it. San Diego boasts
that she will get a large slice of this
ommerce at once. But the distance
between San Pedro, or Port Bal
Iona, and the Atlantic sea coast
is less by hundreds of miles
than between any other two points
no rth of the south boundary line of the
United States. The region so traversed
is, moreover, less impeded by steep
grades and heavy SHOWS than any other
in the limits referred to. The voyage
across the Pacific is also much shorter
here than from San Francisco or any
point forth of us. Here are material
ad yantages of distances, grades and
weather all in our favor; and these are
facts which have not escaped the atten.
tion of the most thoughtful business
m en- of the nation.

THE first woman mayor in America
presides over the little town of Argo-
mia, Kansas. Her name is Susanna
Medora Salter, and naturally enough,
she halls from Ohio. She emigrated
to Kansas with her parents, and en-
tered the Kansas State Agricultural
college as second-year student at the
age of II, remained three years, and
was compelled by failing health to
leave two months before graduation.
At 20 she married l.. A. Salter, grad
uate of the same college. and they soon
removed to Argonia, where Mr.. Salter
is practicing law. Four children have
been born to them, and Mrs. Salter
with all her other accomplishments is
a model mother, wife and practical
housekeeper. Her father was the first
mayor of Argonia. Mrs. Salter was
elected by a two-thirds majority-only
one woman voting against her. An
enthusiastic lady writing of her, says:
At the age of q this educated wo-
manly woman is performing in person
the duties of mayor. She does not fear
them in the least, and is determined by
the help of God, so to conduct her Office
as to make it serve the best interests of
the city. She is much interested in the
enforcement of the prohibitory law
and in the study of the best means of
suppressing and eradicating the vices
that beset our cities.''

If anything were lacking to raise the
ire of the G. A. II. the following dis
patch from Washington would surely
fill the bill. Comment is unnecessary:
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 14.-The
return of the confederate flags captured
in battles during the war of the re-
bellion is actually in progress at the
war department, by the direction of
President Cleveland. There are 545
of these banners, $50 of which have q
complete history recorded, $50 have but
partial history on file, and the re-
mainder are without Identification that
can be depended upon. Most of the
rebel flags were won at the cost of life,
and nearly all caused shedding of
union blood. The indignation and ex-
ASPIRATION among old soldiers and
loyal people generally, as the
comes known, Is most intense. The
affair causes an excitement and
protest beyond anything yet attempted
in the recognition of states rights. As
the official notice to the governors of
the southern states in this connection
simply alludes to the captured colors as
belonging to the troops of their reSpec-
tive states, to whom they are returned,
no mention is made of the confederacy
or of the rebellion, and the delicacy OBJ
served by the administration in word
ing its tender of the flags to those who
lost them is remarkable. There is a
curious question of the right of the pres
ident or of the secretary of war to re-
store property captured during the re-
bellion. 1t took an act of congress to
get the flags to Washington, and it nat
urally follows that it ought to take an
act of congress to get them away. at
the war department the only reason
